Experiential Course for IFS-informed Therapists, Practitioners, Healers & Coaches

Internal Family Systems (IFS) offers a roadmap to discovering part’s burdens and their natural gifts. As we befriend our own parts or as we work with clients, we may discover that our burdens and gifts are not only individual. Our parts carry legacy burdens from our ancestors and from the collective webs of trauma and oppression, as well as ancestral heirlooms or gifts. 

Uncovering these collective wounds, we can learn to heal with the support and blessing of our trusted ancestors. All people have wise and loving ancestors who can heal, guide and protect us. As we come into relationship with these ancestral guides, the wounds of our ancestors can be released, just as parts can release their burdens and return to their true nature. This allows us to embrace ourselves and all of our parts more fully and transform even the heaviest burdens. No matter your heritage, family history or identity, this healing is available to you.

Sessions will include guided practices for IFS-informed ancestral healing, explorations of how to integrate ancestral healing with IFS, and a heartfelt space for group connection and witnessing. This course requires no previous experience with ritual or ancestral healing and no knowledge of blood ancestry. We welcome people of all cultural and spiritual backgrounds and identities. Rather than relying solely on a therapist or external authority, this course will empower you to regain trust in your own Self and your wise ancestors, with their inherent wisdom, love and collective Self energy.

Together, we will co-create a culturally aware, inclusive and trauma-informed container to hold us in this process. You will leave this course with a deeper understanding of your emotional landscape and a safe, effective method for transforming generational patterns and reconnecting with the gifts of your people. 

In this 8-week experiential course, you will explore and learn: 

• Core principles of ancestral lineage healing

• Practices to connect with ancestral and protective guides 

• Relational attachment patterns and connections between our parts, our Self and our wise guides

• Practices to heal intergenerational burdens and to embrace ancestral blessings

• How to distinguish between parts and unattached burdens, the human dead, different types of guides and other beings in the unseen world

• Self-led ritual practices to support energetic hygiene, well-being and boundaries as healers and therapists

Testimonials from Past Participants

Thank you, Daphne and Elah, for sharing your gifts, time, energy, and passion for ancestral healing with us! In only 8 weeks together, we really touched on some vital parts of ancestral healing from an IFS-informed lens. This course helped to give structure to the work I've already been doing intuitively and with legacy burdens. I learned some very concrete steps to connecting with protective spirits, ancestral guides, and to keep exploring my lineage from a perspective of curiosity, listening, and healing. I look forward to continuing on this journey that we started together, in hopes of ripple effects for our communities and world at large. This is powerful, vital work for our time. Thank you again!!

I've been surprised to experience how real and ongoing the relationships with the guides have been. Even now I feel them here with me today. I am so grateful to them and to you for making this generous space.
